Dear Zoe Allwood,
Thank your reply.
I would like to ask how long it would take the university to reply to one single request regarding ethnicity and gender admission statistics?
I would also like to ask how long it would take to provide data for half of a request? For example, only providing admission statistics for a subject only regarding ethnicity.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Nilsson
Dear Mr Nilsson,
Thank you for your email and apologies for the slight delay in replying.
Due to the large number of requests you have submitted, any new requests now submitted would also be aggregated and refused. This will remain the case until the aggregation provisions fall away in due course (i.e. when 60 working days have elapsed since your most recent request).
